Although Ancient Greece is long gone, its legacy stands until today, influencing and enriching culture throughout time. Today, we’ll explore the following questions:

  1. If Greeks were pagan, why would the Jews have considered embracing Greek thought to the point that the Rabbis allowed Torah scrolls to be written in Greek?
  2. Why are Greek disciplines not only permissible, but vitally important for religious Jews to study?
  3. How do Greek stories help distill and clarify the Biblical project of redemption?
